Former Law Student Gets Life In PlayStation Murder

Tweet

A former criminal law student has been sentenced to life in a California prison for killing one man and wounding two others in a dispute over a Sony PlayStation console. Jonquel Brooks was sentenced Friday in Fresno County Superior Court. He asked for forgiveness from relatives of the man he shot. Police said Brooks killed 19-year-old Brant Daniels and wounded his friends in May 2007. They had apparently gone to Brooks' apartment to look for their stolen PlayStation. Brooks was a freshman at California State University, Fresno, at the time. At his trial, Brooks said he acted in self-defense because he feared they were going to attack him. However, a jury found him guilty in April of first-degree murder and attempted murder. http://wcbstv.com/national/PlayStation.slaying.Jonquel.2.1062578.html
